Motivation: 394a1b3485000c211595aff7495c4f863972af29 introduced the possibility to use recvmmsg(...) but did not correctly handle ipv6 mapped ip4 addresses to make it consistent with other transports. Modifications: - Correctly handle ipv6 mapped ipv4 addresses by only copy over the relevant bytes - Small improvement on how to detect ipv6 mapped ipv4 addresses by using memcmp and not byte by byte compare - Adjust test to cover this bug Result: Correctly handle ipv6 mapped ipv4 addresses

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>
. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
Usage with JDK 9
Netty can be used in modular JDK9 applications as a collection of automatic modules. The module names follow the reverse-DNS style, and are derived from subproject names rather than root packages due to historical reasons. They are listed below:
io.netty.all
io.netty.buffer
io.netty.codec
io.netty.codec.dns
io.netty.codec.haproxy
io.netty.codec.http
io.netty.codec.http2
io.netty.codec.memcache
io.netty.codec.mqtt
io.netty.codec.redis
io.netty.codec.smtp
io.netty.codec.socks
io.netty.codec.stomp
io.netty.codec.xml
io.netty.common
io.netty.handler
io.netty.handler.proxy
io.netty.resolver
io.netty.resolver.dns
io.netty.transport
io.netty.transport.epoll

(native

io.netty.transport.sctp
io.netty.transport.udt
Automatic modules do not provide any means to declare dependencies, so you need to list each used module separately
in your module-info
file.
